S1. Ep6 - Victor McGowan & Abe Smyth (Pogonophobia)

Episode 6 of the Recluse’s Cookbook and that means we are halfway through the first series. In this conversation I am joined by producer Victor McGowan and Actor Abe Smyth who are currently promoting their short film “Pogonophobia” which was recently longlisted for the IFTA award for Best Irish Short Film.

Victor McGowan is the man behind Constant Motion Pictures and is responsible for some of Irelands acclaimed independent movies of the last decade, such as Zoe Kavanagh’s “Demon Hunter” and Thomas Andrew Quain’s “I’m talking to you”.

Abe Smyth is a London based thespian, originally hailing from Northern Ireland. He starred in several RTE Productions inkling “Finding Joy” and” Can’t cope won’t cope”. In Pogonophobia he plays Cyril a very self-contained man with an intense fear of beards.
